Smalling Gets The Nod From The Boss

11 February 2011 12:58
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has given the nod to Chris Smalling to line up in United's defence when they take on Manchester City on Saturday. Smalling will start alongside captain Nemanja Vidic in central defence because Rio Ferdinand and Jonny Evans are both out with injuries. "Rio Ferdinand got a calf injury last week. He will be out for a couple of weeks,'' Ferguson said.  "Jonny Evans was injured in training with Northern Ireland. He is out so Chris Smalling will play. I am sure he will do well.''
